Wow this is beyond belief. I can't wait til Spring Training when we get to see all these new guys in Sox uniforms. I really hope this guy can stick it to Matsui and the Mets and show the country how a Japanese infielder can play. Shingo should help this guy to adjust and damn I am excited right now.

This def gives us a better 1-2, as well as eliminating some more black hole at the bottom, good signing!!!  UNless.....what if he fails the physical??

I would hope that his shoulder has healed since 4 years ago when he had his shoulder surgery but who knows...

Great job Kenny, this offseason has been better then everyone has expected.

score just reported there ya go people

I'm at school...has ESPN Radio even said ANYTHING about this? I just sent an email to Mac Jurko and Harry's show complaining about Levine and discussing how this off-season is successful and that I hate the Tiny Ones accessive whining and how Jerk-O reads emails,

haha anyone find it funny that on whitesox.com, one of the headline stories says that the Sox are expecting big things from Harris this year. And now Iguchi has been signed.

It's nice that you wrote a letter whining about how you hate someone who whines.

Yep, WSCR 670 The Score just reported that "Iguchi has come to an agreement with the White Sox."

Damn I'm good. I called it, said by Monday he'll be a Whitesox.

Im at work today but this news about Iguchi is going to make my even better. Welcome Tadahito! You definitely will look good with the SOX!!!!!! Great job KW

With the new attitudes, speed, well roundedness and added pitching depth, this club should not only do better, but be a lot more fun to watch and follow!

 

 

 

Excellent news! Can't wait till Opening Day. My tickets came in the mail!

Thirty nine days until the first Cactus League game.

 

Let's do it!

WSCR 670 "The Score" is now reporting that White Sox officials have confirmed the Iguchi signing!!!

 

Just a tremendous winter for KW, addressing so many problems in a variety of ways.

 

PLUS, JR gets more bang for his translator buck.

I dont think there is anyway that Ozzie puts Iguchi into the 2 spot right away. He might, stress might, end up there, but I don't think that Ozzie will or should take the chance right off the bat. Why put more stress on Iguchi than needed? Let him adjust to MLB in the 9th spot for a while. It's not like we are dying for a 2 hitter. Uribe or Rowand can more than handle that spot. I think one of the reasons Kaz Matsui hasn't developed is because he was thrown to the wolves and had an enormous amount of pressure on him to be the man. I still think Uribe or Rowand will be the 2 hole hitter come opening day.

Of course it is the papers across the seas make it a very big deal over there. Im done looking for translation its done deal phew.

Agreed. Even if Iguchi is batting 9th in the lineup he is still suited well there. He will be like having another leadoff hitter there.

It was obvious from the get-go that KW would never let Iguchi get away, for KW has a goal of assembling MLB's first All-Non-English-Speaking Team, and he pursues this goal with an almost-eerie intensity.

Bring on Spring Training... man I am totally excited for this up coming season!!! Great job KW....

I thjink the batting order will be played out in spring training. We all speculate on what it will be, and theorize on it. But when the players hit the field and show what they actually can bring to the team, that's how it will be determined.

Exactly, I mean who would be the 9 hitter if Iguchi were to be the 2 hitter? Crede? I don't want Crede clogging the bases for Pods if Crede were to get on base at a decent clip.

Yes, agree completely.

 

That's what'll make spring training interesting ... more interesting than usual. Can't wait to get out there to Tucson.

I really think Spring Training evaluation is overrated for most players. It's good for the young players that haven't done it before, but for if Rowand had a bad spring, you'd still see him in the 2 or 5-6 spot. Same thing with Uribe. If Iguchi has a good spring, I still see him in the 9th spot. Spring really isn't close to the real deal. But here's hoping that Iguchi tears it up in Spring. Or pull a Shingo. Suck in ST, dominate the regular season.
